Why would this affect the development of Halo games. Microsoft isn't a small company. There would be a seperate budget for the tv show and games. The series was announced a long time ago. It was to be part of the original xbox video programmes.

I'd really like to know where they are going with this. I'd love to see the novels in television. There so many juicy intersection story-lines, I think it would have mass appeal... I've read the first three books and got hooked. Now I'm nearly finished the kilo-five trilogy and its like Game of Thrones in space with all the political backstabbing. It's great stuff.
